The loudest applause often masks the emptiest stage.
The mask we wear for the world hides the face we fear to show ourselves.

The most dangerous lies are those we tell ourselves.
Society often rewards the performance of virtue, not virtue itself.
The past is a ghost, but we give it substance with our memories.
The truth, like a relentless tide, will always find its way to shore.
The past is a ghost, not a guide. Acknowledge its presence, but do not let it steer your ship.
A mask conceals not just the face, but the soul's silent screams.
What good is fortune, if it cannot buy you back the years you've squandered?

It is not the storm that defines us, but how we navigate the wreckage.
The truth is often a bitter draught, but its effects are always restorative.
To doubt is to begin the journey of understanding.
The strongest chains are those forged not of iron, but of unspoken expectations.
Doubt is the shadow of truth. Chase it, and you may find the source of the light.
The strongest man is he who stands alone.

To doubt everything or to believe everything are two equally convenient solutions; both dispense with the necessity of reflection.
Better to stand alone in truth than to walk amongst fools in agreement.
